The First 1000 Days Programme is pleased to share new resources describing a public health approach to supporting parents.

Designed for professionals, the resources describe the conditions that support parents to give children the best start in life and set out the role of policy and practice in creating those conditions. The Public Health Approach to Supporting parents brings together current theory, research evidence and insight into the experience of parents and professionals in Wales conducted between 2018 and 2022. This new animation and PowerPoint slide set complement the summary report and full technical report already published to provide a bite size introduction to the importance of structural and psychosocial factors in creating the conditions for families to thrive.

All of the resources can be found on the Public Health Wales website
